>>40554470 (OP)1. Make a list of all of your major options right now in life. Try to include optimistic as well as pessimistic options, so you cover the gamut.
2. Now, assuming the most pessimistic option, try to make the best of it. What would you do then?
3. Now go back to your first list and look at your life options. Should you not be doing the stuff you were going to do to make the best of the worst possible situation?
4. Last question: if you can do something to make the best of the worst possible scenario in life REGARDLESS of your life situation, and presumably these actions would make you somewhat happy, then does that mean you are actually in control of your happiness? What are the ramifications of this?
